Two teenagers from feuding families meet at a masked ball and fall in love before they know who the other is. What follows is Shakespeare's most famous tragedy, told entirely through movement — the secret marriage, the street fights, the desperate plan that goes wrong, and the ending that changes both families forever. Peter Martins's production for NYCB sets Prokofiev's overwhelming score against Renaissance-inspired sets and costumes. The sword fights are athletic, the balcony pas de deux is breathtaking, and the final scene is as devastating in dance as it is in any spoken production. If you know the story, you'll be startled by how much more you feel it when no one speaks.
